Bio:
The Kahn'taal clan prodominantly hailed from Concord Dawn, a noble and loyal sect of mandalorians. This particular clan excelled in melee combat and when children become old enough to walk and talk, A sword would be shoved into their hands and they would be taught how to survive (The Kahn'taal's fight like the spartans). The clan fought in the Mandalorian wars previous to the jedi civil war, they cut through the republic troops with ease, like a hot knife through butter. Fortunatley they did not fight on Malachor V.
Joranus, son of Capeb (Mother) and Mal'tek (Father), both great warriors who only bore one child. Capeb raised Joranus up until his 3rd birthday where then his father took him under his wing. He gave him his first sword and would spar with his son everyday, for most of the day until he came of age. Joranus wouldn't leave Concord Dawn until he was ready, so he spent his days up until his coming of age trials at home and the local town. He had no friends, his allies, his sword and family.
By his 16th birthday, Joranus had already forged his own mandalorian armour. The best armour in the galaxy, it was strong, heavily resistant to most attacks and not too emcumbering. Joranus spent his early teenage years heavily studying battle tactics and the art of war. He was to follow the path of his clan, become the best of the best.
By the time he had turned 18 years old, Joranus had become involved in a local militia force to rid the republic off of Concord dawn. They were only a small group to start with and were usally helplessly outnumbered but always managed to survive with pride and honour intact. Joranus was relentless almost barbaric when it came to fighting up close and personal, he showed little to no mercy and sure didn't lack the courage of his convictions. The local republic outpost of the small town he grew up in was often victim to geurilla style attacks from the small anti-republic militia. It did not take long for fellow concordians to join in on the militia, it also did not take long for Joranus to climb the hierachy with in the group. His determination, resolve and tactics were to be admired for such a young human.
By the time Joranus had reached the age of 20 he had met a female mandalorian named Beru Chadan, from the clan Chandan. They had first met in the battle circle with in the now quite formidable Concordian Madalorian Militia, or CMM for short. She was a relative new comer to the militia who had challanged Joranus to a non-lethal melee only duel. The fight lasted for some time before Joranus's superior strenght and experience overwhelmed Beru, it was love at first fight. Only after a few weeks of meeting one another, they married. She was 18, he was 20. Both older than the usual couple as mandalorians tend to marry young.
The CMM continued to wage their own little battles against any republic forces that were sent to quiet the "riots" as the local holonet transmissions would put them. With every battle that took place, their popularity grew, Mandalorians, Mercenariesand bounty hunters alike who were born on Concord Dawn came to the aid of the CMM who by this time had their own underground network. The Republic always knew itmight be troublesome to claim ownership over a planet well connected with the Mandalorian society.
Joranus decided to leave temporary leadership with his partner, Beru. For he left Concord Dawn to traverse the galaxy to re-unite distant relatives and comrades to return to Clan Kahn'taal. His first trip was to Onderon, where a group of mandalorians turned mercs resided. Followed by Nar Shadaa, where a few were hired muscle for a hutt lord before finally making his way to Tatooine where a bulk of distant relatives had built a matrix of moisture farms near the dune sea. He gave all he met the details of the CMM aswell as where they meet on Concord Dawn.
A few months had passed whilst on his quest to re-unite his clan, thankfuly it was succesful. Unfortunatley upon his return he was informed that his partner, Beru had fallen in battle. Whilst a great feelong of joy and honour that his love had fallen in battle, he was struck deep with hatred and vengenace. He vowed he would not leave this mortal coil until he had personally killed the republic soldier who did this. Unfortunatley for Joranus it was a young officer. so it wouldn't of been so easy. But that didn't matter to him.
Joranus's father Mal'tek after hearing about his son's plan, gave Joranus a Rantok styled sword that had been in the family for centuaries since before the mandalorian wars, it was layered with mandalorian iron to make it stronger and even repel ligfhtsaber attacks, it made the sword lighter than most as mandalorian iron was superior to most metals but also relatively lighter too. With honour and pride Joranus accepted the offer and would use it to better his abilities in combat when up close and personal with any opponent.
After a few weeks of planning and the arrival of the clans man, Joranus put his battle plans into action. There had been a fresh influx of republic troops that had taken up garrison on the outskirts of the town. Usually green soldiers as the previous garrisoned troops had been, this fitted into Joranus's plans perfectly. He gathered his small army to confront the garrison. They did not attack, instead they waited on the borders of the military base waiting for them to come out, which they did quite foolishly did. Joranus sent all his mandalorian militia to attack with out mercy and without remorse.
Joranus hung back for a few moments before activating his shield and unsheathing his Rantok sword before running towards the republic troops. He had successfully managed to reach his opponents. The first trooper charged the mandalorian, Joranus using the soldiers momentum against him simply lowered his left arm slightly before lifting it to send the trooper over his head. A second trooper charged in, Joranus's arm still above his head, he moved his right leg forward and his left leg behind him before lunging his sword diagonally vertical towards the soldier who in a matter of a split second became impaled onto the sword. He retracted his sword from the lifeless corpse before running forward again. This time as he approached his next victim he let out a loud roar before jumping violently towards him and jabbing his sword into the soldiers torso just above his heart before spinning on the spot and raising his left arm to his side to which another soldier ran straight into rendering himself unconscious practically instantly.
This time he marched quickly towards the next soldier inline who lunged towards Jorganus who then stepped to one side to avoid the attack by the soldier and sent a vertical strike down before removing the sword from the body and striking it horizontally to another trooper who had ran Joranus's way. The battle waged on, The mandalorians cutting through the republic troops with relative ease. Joranus continued his relentless assault that was quickly turning into a massacre. Another Soldier ran towards him, Jorganus span low to the floor using his sword to "trip" the trooper up and sending him flying a few feet into the air before plunging his sword into the troopers stomach and sending him back down to the ground. He knelt on the floor as he removed his sword before he looked towards the remaing soldiers infront of him. They looked at each other for a couple of seconds before dropping their weapons and running away from the battle field. The battle was won.
Joranus raided what remained of the garrison in search for any junior officers and killed them all, despite the possibility of breaking the mandalorian code he did it anyway, out of love and out of vengeance, they killed all the officers they found so they had assumed they killed the one responsible, to which they had indeed killed.
Joranus remained on Concord Dawn with his clan of mandalorian warriors. over the years he trained new arrivals. The numbers of his clan rising and rising. Word had spread around the many mandalorian clans of the tactical genius and fearless warrior that was Joranus Kahn'taal, leader of Clan Kahn'taal. The newly crowned Mandalore, Leader of all Mandalorians in the galaxy took agreat interest in Joranus, he would be a very vauable ally in a time of war. So Mandalore himself came to the underground HQ of the CMM and personally gave him the honour of being a General for the Mandalorian military, Joranus would only have to answer to Mandalore himself and no one else. This was his calling, this was his time. Joranus and his fearless army of miltia joined the mandalorian military to which plans were in the making for a full invasion of Concord Dawn....

A group of mandalorian officers had met in the war room in the mandalorian HQ on mandalore, Joranus had sent the call out to his officers for the up and coming battle for Concord Dawn, harldy a word spoken as they all stood waiting for the General, mandalorians weren't really known for their social interactions. The odd cough could be heard now and again to break the silence.
A few moments had passed before the doors to the war room shot open proceeded by 2 tall mandalorian bodygaurds, one wearing tattered armour that had seen endless amounts of action, the other with only a few scorch marks and on his belt hung a lightsaber, a trophy of fighting and besting a force user in battle. They took their place on either side of the door before General Kahn'Taal stormed into the room, the instant he entered every mandalorian clicked their heels together and placed their right hand over their hearts in the form of a fist.
"We have glorious battle on the horizon my brothers.." He removed his helmet to show his face to his officers, a scar running down the right side of his face "Concord Dawn.... by birth right it belongs to Mandalore and we band of brothers will take it back from the republic" He made a stern fist as he spoke. "Unfortunatley we don't have any Basilisk war droids thanks to a certain jedi all those years ago.. so instead we will use Shaadler troop ships and perfom H.A.L.O (high altitude, low opening) drops, that way we still maintain the element of surprise.." he nodded as he looked to the officers one by one. "Send one division to block off the garrisons from reinforcing the cities, my division will attack the heart of the city and eliminate any threats...we know the city like no others, we will signal you via comm when we have taken over, we will use it as a base of operations before mounting our main offensive towards the republic base...." He slammed his palm against the table before looking up "we will not fail... for mandalore.. we will prevail on this glorius day!" The officers all at once in a soldier esque way shouted "Ho-Ha!".
Joranus stood up straight and gave a salute to his officers before dismissing them "Off we go, to re-write history and take back what belongs to us... fight for yourselves, your familieis, the mandalorians to come and of course do it for mandalore!" He placed his helmet back on before walking towards the door, the two bodygaurds follow suit behind him as he left. They made their way to the battleships stationed out side in the ports by the HQ.
